Compression treatment for chronic venous diseases is associated with a wide range of challenges and often produces uncertain clinical outcomes. Investigating and exploiting the performance of compression bandage would further improve the knowledge of compression management and would give a holistic picture of this promising area.
This book addresses the fundamental pursue of compression therapy, i.e. compression or pressure through multidisciplinary approaches involving various concepts of physics, biological science, biomaterials, fabric engineering, structural dynamics, materials science, technical textiles and instrumentation to better deal with compression subject from different perspective. Each chapter discusses its clinical significance which helps to elucidate the clinical outcomes of a particular compression product and achieve maximum compression efficacy as novel wound care management.
All the arguments and reasoning described help to evaluate different compression products, standardization and characterization of compression bandage, innovating suitable compression product, designing and fabricating pressure measuring systems, recommending ideal compression product and developing suitable wrapping protocols for a compression management.
This book is extremely useful for the academicians, R&D managers, bandage manufacturers, processing industries, doctors, health practitioners, researchers, nurses, users of the bandage for distinctive applications and all others related to compression treatment.
